Big picture: the harm they did led to a civil war which enabled their federal government in a power grab.
Wrong as usual.
Small scale perspective? Yeah, they benefited.
So, they benefited - slavery was good for them.
Larger scale? No, they lost a great deal,
Generations of slave owners didn't lose a thing.
and the American south went from being wealthy to being poor.
So 'the south' was wealth under slavery? And I guess the wealthiest people were the million of slaves? Have you tried thinking before typing?
Thanks for the wonderful example, in fact.
Yes, wonderful example of your ability to say the most stupid things. Back to your first sentence. Slavery was 'bad' because it led to a 'power grab' - Amazing proof-by-circular-logic eh? And why are 'power grabs' bad?
